Ideamark Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Okay folks, Thank you so much for your responses/help! I have attached 3 new pictures, one with the chewing surface and hope they are clear/bright enough to help you identify them better. Could you also give me some idea of how old they are? I have read that the shark teeth we collect can be anywhere between 3M and 23M years old...are these from a similar period of time? You guys rock (fossil joke-kinda) and I appreciate all of your comments. Let me know if these new photos help! Mark I live on the barrier island outside of Jacksonville, FL and love to find fossilized shark teeth, but I found this fossilzed jaw fragment with two teeth imbedded in it on the same beach in Ponte Vedra. I have no idea what they are from, so I'm hoping someone here can help? I've attached three views & hope they help. I'm excited to find out!

rejd Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Great find! It looks mammal to me but as for an ID I can not say. The second pic is blurry and likely not of much use. A pic of the chewing surface will help as well. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

fossilized6s Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Wow, cool beach find! It does look like a mammal, maybe even a carnivore. But brighter pictures of the chewing surface of the teeth and each of the sides will help a lot with an ID. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My guess is that these teeth - two upper premolars - belong to a white tail deer. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
